Key Locations & Landmarks
Landmarks help with navigation. Learn their sightlines so you can rotate between biomes without getting pinched.
Dam Control Structure
Massive hydroelectric dam that dominates the skyline. Serves as the central orientation point for all squads.
- Tip

Apartment District
Dense cluster of high-rise apartments and parking structures. Vertical gameplay hub and frequent PvP hotspot.
